Home Decor Project by Lydia!

Saturday, December 31, 2011

Hello Everyone!  Lydia here with a fun home project for you.  I have had a blank wall in my kitchen for almost a year and finally found came up with an idea for that blank space.  I found this frame at our school's fair.  Now....I didn't care for the leopard picture but knew the frame would be perfect for what I was thinking.


The first thing I did was to take the print out of the frame.  I attached chicken wire to the frame with a staple gun.  After the wire was attached, I spray painted the whole thing.

We are on the last challenge of the year and what a year it has been! We have enjoyed creating challenges for you and inspiring you to try new things as well as use up some of those supplies taking up valuable space in your creative areas! We are blessed to have an wonderfully talented design team from around the world and the most loyal, friendly followers out there! We are nearing 1000 followers and we are both excited and humbled that we have so many people that want to stop by Frosted Designs for inspiration and to play along! Thank you for making this challenge blog a great place to be! With the new year, there will be a few changes. Last Tuesday you learned about Andrea becoming the new Sketch Along Tuesdays layout challenge coordinator. Today, I would like to announce that Amanda will be taking over as the Fabulous Friday Coordinator! Amanda has been a very active member of our design team for a while now and is also our sponsorship coordinator. She is going to do an amazing job in this new leadership role!! Congratulations Amanda!

With the new year, we wanted a new challenge for you. We want to see you do something new or use something new on your card, layout or project! This can be a new technique that you have seen and are wanting to try out or it can be a product that has been sitting around your craft room left unopened and untouched! As long as you can tell us what is new about your project, it qualifies for this challenge! Our design team has created some spectacular projects to get those creative juices flowing!

Sketch Along Tuesdays Sketch #31

Tuesday, December 27, 2011

Read more » |

December has just whizzed by . . . hope everyone enjoyed the holidays!
I got some news to share with all of you.
I've made the decision to step down as the Sketch Coordinator for our Sketch Along Tuesdays Challenge, as more and more of my time is now devoted to taking care of my mom.   It's been a thrill to handle this challenge that I started over a year ago with the blessings of Barb and Diana.  It's been a pleasure working with the talented members of my design team.  Andrea from our Fabulous Friday DT will be the new Sketch Coordinator for this challenge beginning with our January 10th challenge. Not to worry though, as I will still be a part of this big family here at Frosted Designs, helping Barb and Diana run this great challenge blog.
---Debbie

Now on to the new sketch reveal! 
It's a great sketch designed by Ashley, one of our DT members from our Fabulous Friday Challenge.

SHOW ME SUNDAY -ELI

Sunday, December 25, 2011

We would like to wish all of you and your families, a Very Merry Christmas.
From your Friends at Frosted Designs.




Merry Christmas girls! I wish you an happy day with family, friends and good food, like me! Today I show you an easy idea for a mini album that combines fabrics and papers.

You need: cardstock, fabrics, strong patterned papers, bazzils, clips, sewing machine (no experience needed), glue or duoble sides adhesive, eyelets and ribbons.

Cut 2 rectangular cardstock (6x9) for the cover and one for the thick (6x2), place them on the cloth (8x22) a few mm away from each other.

 
Fold the fabric to the inside and secure it with clips to hold it in position. No glue binding this!Cut the rectangle of patterned paper (8x6) that you want to use for the front and also to set the fabric along with the clips.


Sew the front cover, removing the clips and gradually proceed with the work.




Sew the thickness and finally the back.






Glue a piece of wrapping paper to reinforce the central part.

From a cardstock bazzill type, cut out 2 rectangles and glue to cover the seams.

On the central part, glue a rectangle of cloth of different color.

We now think of pages: the principle is the same. Cut some cardboard cereal box type of recovery (the number is up to you depending on the number of photos you want to use) (8x6). Cut a rectangle of cloth, of 2-3 cm bigger than the cardboard, fold the edges of the fabric, secure with clips, and sewing .


Cut a rectangle from the patterned and do on this a fake stitching to give uniformity to the album.

Paste it on the rough part to cover the seams. In this way we have all pages with a paper side and a fabric side.Insert two eyelets on each page, and two pairs of eyelets on the thickness of the cover.


Bind the pages with a ribbon. Now we have only to decorate!

Thank you for stopping by.
